And we're off....

The semester is back in full swing and it feels as though we were never away! That's a good thing, though.

The next Faculty Library Advisory Committee meeting has been scheduled, with the agenda centering on the costs of creating digital collections, as well as plans for the planned student study. (See minutes from the November meeting here. ) We hope the anthropology study will be underway in Fall 2008 semester and that the results will help us to plan the renovation. By the way, Library staff were thrilled to see a library renovation on the list of projects at the Faculty-Staff meeting last week.

We will soon begin our Faculty Workshop series. A new session has been added to the tried and true offerings on database searching and copyright, among other things: Steve Rouzer will talk about the selection process and entertain questions about how it's done. Specific dates are:
